Great place to shop! This Big Lots (located in the Troy Plaza) was formerly Ames and Barkers (back…read morein the day), a perfect fit for this area. They have a great selection of deeply discounted special purchase and closeout merchandise including houseware items, accessories, hardware, paper goods, greeting cards, food, electronics, toys, clothing, health & beauty, decorations, plantings, lawn & garden, rugs, FURNITURE (comfy living room sets and mattresses), CLOSEOUTS, and much more. Got some picture frames for $8 and some cheap DVDs for $3 each. I even had the chance to take a short rest break on a very comfortable leather armchair in back. Zzzzzzzz Wake up Ian, more discounts ahead!

Cashier Brian- at 8:36 pm. 1440 central avenue Colonie Center Albany New York 12205…read more The second customers arrived to the counter he was cussing and huffing and puffing while rolling his eyes. The cashier Brian tried to rob me, he received $156 of the total of $154.50 and kept asking me for $20 extra even though he counted twice and then he lowered the amount again. When I got home he didn't even bother to remove the alarm from my jacket, surprised ? nope He probably thought we were stupid because we were in speaking another language with each other and he was aggressive and demanding more money when he was wrong the whole time . Screaming (yes screaming) " you only gave me $136 give me another give me other 20" until I helped my elder parents count it and we were right. Then he dropped my blankets on the floor on purpose and 3 employees passed them behind the counter and nobody had the correct employee behavior and ethics to pick it up or pretend to care about customers zero class or training. It's fine if they wanna act that way but why be so obvious ? If he doesn't know how to count it's a problem for your company as cashiers and if he was trying to scam us with $20-30 extra that's a legal issue, I'm a resident here I just happen to know more than 3 languages. Incompetent thieves of employees he really thought I was gonna be dumb enough like his strategy to give him more money without counting it again, he made me count it 3 times and then he kept saying then give me $10 more, ridiculous staff

If you're in the capital region, to go the location in Clifton Park. It's nicer, cleaner and overall I always have a better experience. Walmart in Troy is never a great location to go to. All the items are locked up, the self checkout is always closed and truthfully, this is a non bias opinion.

Dangerous and mismanaged store…read more Hello I am writing to you to discuss issues with The hoosick road store. I was in the at around 7pm shopping. First i would like to say this store is mismanaged. They are always low staff and the store is a mess. They recently installed 15 items or less at self checkout and do not enforce it. I was over in the cleaning area and there was a gang of teen guys maybe 15-19 hard to tell. There were riding in scooters and knocking over the febreze display and paper towels. There was NO security. I went to the front and told service desk to get security and what was happening. I left my items and went to walmart east greenbush The security personnel was no where to be seen while i was in there. You have no cop lot light light east greenbush ( and price chopper right around the corner.)Management in my opinion is horrible and there needs to be a big change now.No one ever answers the phone at this store when you call either.

If I need retail therapy, this store usually satisfies my craving…read more I like the mix of quality clothing, toiletries/makeup, and handbags plus homegoods which makes it more interesting than the Homegoods store nearby. However, if you want sheets or comforters, Homegoods has a much better selection. Four stars are given instead of five because the shoe department is not nearly as good as it used to be. Also, the jewelry department is not what it was 20 years ago. There is much more low quality costume/trendy jewelry available and less sterling silver and gold. In addition, they used to have quality wrist watches and pearls. The vast amount of Halloween items struck me as odd today. I did not realize that there was this much interest. Do many people have Halloween themed parties and need stem glassware embellished with skeletons and black spiders? I appreciate decorating for Fall but Halloween? In my opinion as a senior, all one really needs is candy to hand out and maybe a costume. I like the mix of clothing for children, men, and women. The racks were organized well and neat. There was also a nice selection of children's books and toys I picked up a few bags of natural snacks for my dog as well as a new dog bed perfect for her 11 pound body. Other bonuses: Attentive staff Efficient check out Excellent return policy Opportunity to return items purchased online Ample parking Carts that work well Clean rest room Love me some retail therapy at TJ Max.

Nice selection of bath and beauty products. Decent assortment of bags including many trendy seasonal ones. Checkout was quick with just one person ahead of me and the cashier was genuinely friendly and didn't seem to hate her job. I just stopped in here quickly to grab some hand soaps so didn't browse as much as I would have liked but I look forward to returning here.

What can you say about Target? The stores are clean, and well stocked. I don't shop here too…read moreoften, but it is my go-to for certain facial tissues. Other household items like bathroom accessories are frequently bought there by my wife. But I want to take this opportunity to issue them a REWARD! Yes, a reward. Would you believe I'm most impressed by their shopping carts? They are the quietest and most smooth rolling shopping carts of any store I've ever shopped in. They even feel just right when you are holding on to them and steering them through the aisles. I don't know that I'd go so far as to say they are the BMW of shopping carts, but they give you a feeling of confidence as you push them through the store. Thank you, Target, for raising my shopping experience to the next level.

Seriously... did an online shopping order and I guess the person doing the…read morejob didn't want to do his job or they all just decided to get rid of all the inventory that they couldn't sell and put it in my order. All the canned fruit was dented significantly, the milk had a lid that just popped off and was missing about a pint of milk in the gallon container. I guess none of them lived through the Tylenol scare in the 80s to be concerned about what this could mean... but even so, this is clearly something that you always check for when shopping.... tilt the milk container before putting it in your cart to make sure it doesn't leak... this one clearly looks like it got smashed and had dried milk over it. Only thing they didn't seem to mess up was the frozen pizza and frozen dinners. But the guy clearly just had a pissed off attitude like he didn't want to be there. If you don't like your job, feel free to work somewhere else... keep them away from groceries.... Ace Ventura's mauling of boxes was only funny in the movies.

When I walked in someone asked if I needed help, and I explained what I was looking for. Actually, I explained it three times because the person seemed to have trouble either hearing me or understanding English. I can't put my finger on it, but it was a bit frustrating. I first asked if they had assortment boxes and she went to check. She came back and said no, so I asked for specific sizes which she had to check. Finally, she brought everything they had out. I asked for two packages in each of the two sizes I needed, but they only had one of each so I bought both. Their credit card machine wasn't working right and it took multiple tries with multiple cards to get the deal done. I had some free time while they were searching for stuff so I looked around. This place sells a motley collection of things such as tools (wrenches, saws), hardware (caster wheels, chain), adhesives (caulk, Loctite), and power tools. Many of the things had a coating of dust, and nothing was priced out. For a place like this, customer service is important. Not only did it take them 20 minutes to get my transaction done, but another commercial customer who needed help couldn't get the information he needed on some products. Did I mention that there were 5 employees in the store this morning, but they were more interested in the Halloween donuts that someone had brought in. I should have just bought the stuff online. McMaster Carr has the same things for seven times less. Service is fast. Payment is easy. I can only recommend coming here if you know what you need, know that they have it, are willing to pay cash, and have some free time.
